Hi, All.

I am still searching for information on SARAH A. CLIFFORD, my
great-grandmother. I finally found her marriage certificate to JOHN E.
WILLIAMS in Greene County, April 5, 1882. It lists Sarah's age as 24,
which would make her birth year, 1858. No location of birth was given,
so all I have is my grandmother's word that Sarah was born in or
somewhere near Alton, IL. I have tried the Madison County records for a
birth certificate, but they have no listings of surnames beginning with
"C" until 1860.

Sarah and John E. had six children (in close to this order): Fred
Williams m. Minnie _________; Mary Ebbert ("Ebby") Williams m. Thomas
VICE and lived in Breeze, IL; Charlie Williams (never married); Florence
Valretta Williams m. William Milton BEST and lived in Worden, IL;
Francis Williams (died at age 21 and had not married); and Sarah
Williams m. Homer FULFORD of Alton and lived in Alton, IL.

If any of this matches anything that you might have, I would sincerely
appreciate your information. This is the most elusive couple that I
have ever researched!

Thank,
Myra Ann
